数据库的输出换行符

Question

In my bio column in my database table I have this:

This is a test.
Break 1.

Break 2.

I'm trying to output the text from the table column on my page like this:

<?php echo escape (nl2br($data->bio)); ?>

But my output is returning like this on my webpage:

This is a test.<br /> Break 1.<br /> <br /> Break 2.

How can I make the line breaks output correctly?

This is my escape function:

<?php
function escape($string) {
    return htmlentities($string, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
}

Answer 1

try <?php echo nl2br (escape($data->bio)); ?> <?php echo nl2br (escape($data->bio)); ?>
